I wish this place would open up. It was the perfect place for a cup of coffee & studying. I have yet to find another place that comes remotely close to Slap Face☹️

Great place, coffee and management! We missed them. Work from home sucks, sooo dont you think to open it soon? 😄

Nice shop with high quality food and beverage. Wish the womens restroom had a hook for my purse; restroom was clean but was out of papertowels. Came at 9 am - seems like a cute place to work quietly or study but would have felt awkward if I came with friends and wanted to chat as it was so quiet. Lots of bar height seating and a few tables on the first floor; I didnt go upstairs. Only one employee appeared to be on staff but she was super nice and very efficient. Close to the Amtrak station which is a plus. Has a small parking lot for customers.

Excellent coffee and lovely venue to chill out with friends or read a book alone. But if you are going here make sure you have enough time as the services can be considerably slow at times! They have live music on Thursday Nights!

Very relaxed environment... u come enjoy ur coffee and have good time

Hidden specialty coffee and tea place. Great coffee! Events like open mic are hosted indoors over the weekends - would strongly suggest to checkout upcoming events at this place.

New spot. First time. Impressive. High quality ice cream and coffee. Great ambiance!

Miss this place so much

Great trendy place with great coffee and nice accompanying snacks. Parking can be an issue in the parking complex but there is street parking around. The place has a chill vibe and also host free events.

Please open! This place is much needed. Its one of the LGBTQ friendly coffee shops Ive been in at Fremont. :(

This has become my new favorite work spot! Stellar service, perfect coffee, long hours, and they actually have made-to-order food - which is amazing. Parking isn’t optimal for its size, so I have had to either park on the street or down the road a few times. My favorite aspect of Slap Face is the ambiance! The decor looks great and they feature amazing art. The music is always upbeat but not distracting. I’m looking forward to making it out to one of their music / comedy shows soon!TIP: Ring the Bell if you need something. The baristas are working super hard, both in the front and back, and aren’t ignoring you! (I’ve seen quite a few people irritatedly waiting and not seeing the bell by the cashier that alerts the barista that there is someone at the front)

Small parking lot, big place . Really good coffee and ice mochas

Good spot for late night coffee and meets! Loved the red velvet espresso!

Lousy place. Mediocre but overpriced. Slow and pathetic service. Little or no parking. The Turkish coffee I had here was the worst anywhere in North America.

Please come back! This was my favorite coffee shop. Don’t let COVID take this gem from our community!

Renovated from an old bank, its an interesting to hang out with a cup of coffee. Their choice of decor is quite unique.

Delicious, local, and a HUGE place to get some work done. Came here after dinner with my boyfriend across the street, and I have to say I was impressed with the red velvet latte!

Coffee is great and strong! Lots of place to work or study, private rooms available too!

Brought the kids for ice cream. I had the affogato, which was excellent. Im not into the style of the place, but I can see how others would appreciate it. Not exactly family friendly, though.

Really great coffee shop. Craft coffees poured in a variety of ways. Love the atmosphere and that it’s quiet enough to get some work done as well. My only complaint is lack of variety. They only had two beans available, neither of which was my preferred light roast. Fortunately for me, the atmosphere more than makes up for it.

I love the high ceiling and Japanese art. Nice area to study, and the coffee was good. Had a croissant and it was okay.

Every morning I get a Soy Cappuccino. Every morning I have nothing to complain about.

Live down the street from Slap, and go there at least twice a week. The coffees great, the staff is talkative and full of smiles, but the events are what make Slap the best place in Fremont. Unlike other cafes, theres something going on almost every weekend, and they do great publicity.

My happy place! The owner is very nice too.

Thia is a nice spot in Fremont Area. The red velvet latte was alright, I wont order it again.

Great service and super nice. I love the artworks that decorate this place. Great ice cream and coffee. Overall, love my first experience here. Will totally come back when Im in Fremont.

Large open space for coffee :)

Really like the quirky furniture, in particular the vault room and the ample seating. I get that theyre trying to be minimalistic but a clearly visible menu would be great (instead of a bent at the corners printed menu)Loved it. Got the affogato and a crepe

Great coffee shop. Many options to choose from including Mariannes famous ice cream. Loved the open concept and large wall art. Liked the seating arrangements especially being able to go upstairs. The parking lot was full so I needed to park on the street. But I was able to do so fairly easily and it was free for up to two hours.

A really spacious and quiet place to get some work done! Though, it also might be a bit hard to get an outlet to charge anything because of the lack of plugs. Its a two-story café with plenty of seating! I think this place used to be an old bank because there were vaults in the back that were decorated as cute seating areas! Its really interesting to go in and really cute. They also have art all over the walls which are really aesthetic. Overall, the vibe is okay, the shop generally looks pretty empty.Its pretty hard to get parking because the parking lot is so small. You might have to park on the street and walk if you come during a rush. Id recommend coming in earlier so you can get a spot for sure! However, because of the lack of parking, Id rather got to a different spot where Id be guaranteed to have good parking if Im just going to get some work done.The coffee is really good and they also have some food items on their menu. On some nights, they have comedy nights and open mics as well. Try coming out to see some shows!

Ice latte is good. Hard to find a parking spot.

Awesome coffee. With latte art. Not your usual starbucks. This is real coffee.. good place where Students study

Decent coffee with a really chill atmosphere - the high ceiling makes the place seem really inviting. Theres a piano on the first floor - to which I was told guests are welcome to play if they feel so inclined. Really friendly owner and staff made the experience all the better. Will come again for sure. Tip: Free Mariannes ice cream (really good local creamery from Santa Cruz) with yelp or facebook check-in.

Found this place by accident. Such a cool, eclectic coffee shop. Great drinks and snacks, interesting space with both dark and bright areas, fascinating murals on the wall of beautiful girls (tho ones picking her nose - so odd). I really dig this place. Sad that its far away from where I live.

Staff and owners are very friendly and go above and beyond to please the customer. The beverages are very good and are well done. The only reserve we have about the place: the chocolate they melt for hot chocolate and mocha beverages is too sweet now. I think it changed to a sweeter chocolate some time around summer of 2017. Too sad we cannot go there anymore. Loved the place!

Really enjoy the aesthetic of this place. It was an old bank and now it’s been completely remodeled. I love the art that is all around and unique. Also I love that there is plenty of space and everyone is not piled on top of each other. Sometimes the parking is a drag. There are only a couple of spaces really in the lot. Very great quality coffee and food. Also they have ice cream which is nice for affagotto style. Yummy! Worth checking out for all there after hours events! They have salsa night and magic shows and other fun stuff that’s great for the family.

This place is a fantastic place to get a low-key coffee/tea and have a quiet conversation, study, or simply relax. The owner makes every drink and snack himself, and goes out of his way to call you by name and learn his regulars.Great shop!

It’s not just Coffee, it’s Love in the Coffee 💜. Handcrafted delicious Cappuccino is served here! A different ambiance from whatever you have considered Coffee Shop so far. Live music and stand up comedy shows on Saturday nights takes Slap Face to a different level of Coffee Shop definition!!

Nice low key coffee house and with internet service. Tasty treat and light meals available. Quiet place for studying.

Cool vibe and a very quiet coffee joint. They have conference rooms available for meetings, you just have to reserve in advance (at no cost!) Good coffee and menu selection

Fremont, please appreciate having a nifty, cool spacious high quality coffee house like this! The interior is so unique and intriguing, and because it used to be a bank, the architecture has a different, almost labyrinthine feel to it. Despite having once been a bank, the way it is decorated makes it feel cozy and comfortable. The selection and quality of coffee and tea is great, and the owner is super nice. There is a sign saying there is karaoke on Friday nights, and Im sad that I wont be able to stay in the Bay area and long enough to check it out. But please support this space! It is so special and should not be empty at 7:30am, which it was this morning. True that it doesnt have a large parking lot, and Fremont sure loves to drive, but theres street parking. Its totally worth a few extra steps to get here. I hope to come back someday and see it thriving!!!

I love the cozy place with a very wide and quit place. It was so good coffee and tea here. It was all worth to visit again.This spot was nice and clean and has a very friendly staff.

A wonderful experience! The coffee is delicious, their toasts are great, and seating is plentiful if you want to come in and enjoy the day or do some work! Highly recommended. The only thing I didnt get that I wanted was a tshirt. Hopefully soon!

SUPER friendly staff and awesome custom drinks! Live music and stand up comedy notes too! Random comfy lounge has chairs and atmosphere

Great stop for a red velvet latte!

Their red velvet latte was excellent and good. Staffs were super friendly and welcoming. Clean facility and was well maintained.

Mochi muffin so good!

Interesting vibe set in an old bank. Cool art. Friendly staff. Not as slap facey as we thought it would be. Somewhere between fancy coffee shop and arty coffee shop

Really good coffee! and love the ambiance here, really friendly and professional staff! The red velvet latte and the coconut voodoo cold brew are fantastic options if you dont know what to get.

Really cool hipster-esque coffee shop in Fremont. I love that its open until midnight, giving students and other workers another place to work at. The coffee and affogato is really good. They often have free entertainment on weekends and I think thats super dope to have a place thats fostering the creative side of Fremont! Wish the lighting was more consistent in the upstairs area.

Happened on this spot while in route to do some photography. Crazy... FIRST. What an awesome way to repurpose and older building. This was obviously and old bank converted to a hip and modern cafe. Interior design is perfectly rustic giving it a nice industrial vibe. Great open social space along with available private rooms for those looking for a more intimate coffee setting with a friend. SECOND: The coffee is pretty good attention to detail in presentation and taste gave me the impression staff take pride in there craft. THIRD: The mix of culture in this place is awesome. From the artsy type, to professionals to students and the average Joe. This place pulls in a pallet of colors and personalities all chilling out under one roof California Style.

The architecture and design of the place is cool. However, the ladies bathroom was out of paper napkins. Our table had a stirring stick somebody had used and left behind. The next table had coffee stains. The people behind counter looked like they had their own friends to talk to rather than customers. This has happened twice I was here. Also the doors are kept open even on cold days. Brr. The temperature of the place is also slightly colder than usual. Most ladies I know prefer warmer coffee shop and Im no exception. Things might be better during their events though. Not sure. Yet to find out.

Fantastic coffee shop! Very unique in design given its history as a former bank, they got some cool semi-hidden rooms which are perfect for studying or reading a book. And of course the coffee is delicious.

My cuppa coffee was just the way I like it and I must mention that I also liked their ambience! They have different kinds of seatings: corner seating, top seating, stool seating; I liked the haphazard yet abstract seating arrangement! I also liked their portraits of women on the various corners of the cafe! All in all, nice hideout!

Great coffee and a cozy place to meet up with friends. Love the ambience but parking is limited.

Love the design of the place. I had their coconut voodoo iced. So no picture of what that looked like. Next time Im there, Ill have something hot and update this review. For now 4 stars. Great little place if you tend to steer clear from the Starbuckss of the world.

Love this place. Great location and ambiance. Work here often and love the various seating options ranging from standing areas, small tables and communal. They even have some outdoor space. Try the Voodoo.

Its a unique place as a coffee shop. We can tell the building used to be a bank sometime before. They turned previously-a-vault to a study room. The room is hiding behind a thick heavy steel door. Cozy, but a person with claustrophobia should never be inside.Coffee was great.Staffs were very kind and helpful. Definitely a good place for studying.

Great staff. Great coffee. Tasty treats. Comfort food in a contemporary artsy hope in the wall. Chill and they serve some bomb avocado toast

Great place to study and chill☺

Amazing place! Love the coconut voodoo, the conference room upstairs helps me finish my assignment. Feels like home. The band playing at 7:30 pm I think is very good. Customer service is good, I cant complain. There is a restroom adjacent to the conference room that is so accessible if you are over caffeinated which is usually the case when I do my assignment.

Parking is very limited. Not very accessible. Menu is very limited. They always seem to be out of what they do offer. Lots of different kinds and areas to sit, including a conference room.

The coffee and tea is constantly good, but what really makes the 5 stars is the staff, the people and the general atmosphere. During the day it is a good place to work on what ever you have going on. The high ceiling and old bank vaults are a cool place to hang out in. There is a conference room that is free to use, just needs to be reserved beforehand. It is great to work on something as a group or just get together and play some board games or hang out. When night rolls around the atmosphere completely changes. Being open till midnight allows for a great late night hangout. The different events they have in the evenings are always lively and fun. A good coffee shop, but an even better hang out spot!

Amazing coffee, soup, wrap and environment. A perfect open space to work all day. Wifi is a bit slow but there are two networks. Staff is friendly and there are fun events and live music at night too!

You have to visit this coffee place just for the décor. The shop was previously a bank and its really cool how they have used the space.I had a regular black coffee which was good. But they have a variety of drinks to try. They must also be hosting some kind of live events. They have a conference room if you want to a corporate meeting without the boardroom pretense.

Good place to hand out with friends. Has small rooms to have some private chats or want to study. Has a lot of seating space in general. Now coming to coffee, well it was good. Liked the place more than the coffee. Right next to the amtrack/ACE Fremont station.

I haven’t been here for quite sometime and thought it would be nice to take someone out for coffee here. It was by far my worst experience at a coffee shop.The place was really dirty, there were dirty dishes and cups everywhere, tables are not clean, the service was poor, our drinks were not good to say the least, I even felt the cup used for my drink was not clean.I’m really sorry to see the place/service at this shape 😔

This is a unique coffee shop. It’s a big building with lots of places to sit and use your laptop. They have private conference rooms for groups which is nice, but they also allow performances. When I was there, the performances were extremely loud and very hard to focus on studying. I would recommend this place for casual studying or working but not when you really need to get stuff done. On the other hand, I’m sure local artists appreciate this space. I didn’t try their red velvet coffee but it looked good. I got a latte and it was alright. Parking is very limited. The WiFi was very slow.

Wait wasnt too long. Quality was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Still want to know what was with the lady in the mural picking her nose though. That was different lol. Otherwise it was a beautiful shop. Quiet and immaculately clean, did I say immaculately clean? It was immaculately clean. I would definitely pay them money to make me coffee. Oh wait.......I did.

Oddly, Ive never actually been there just for coffee. There are a number of events they host regularly. Always eclectic. Feels local which is nice. The venue is an old bank so they layout is a little awkward but I think theyve repurposed it rather well.

I loved the red velvet latte. A great place to Hangout and chat or work.

Its fine if you need a quiet place to study. Very small variety of foods to eat. Pretentious coffee and staff. Not exactly in a hurry to return. They have live music which looked cool to attend.

Really good coffee and affogato. Also a nice place to hangout with friends!

Love the atmosphere. Really good coffee beverages. Best time to stop by when theres a special event, fun place.

Nice place to study. Baked goods. Red velvet lattes. There is also an upper level if you prefer more privacy. They also carry and use Chromatic beans only.

Wonderful service, great atmospher, and some damn good coffee. Love the food and the people here. This is my favorite coffee shop in the bay area. Perfect place to study since it stays open til midnight.

Save your time and money and go home and make the coffee yourself. It will taste the same if not better. Chameleon Cold Brew tastes better and a lot smoother. Cheaper than Starbucks but less effective and cheap atmosphere reminds me of college.. An old one.

Nice play with great hours and lots of seating. Mellow and relaxing atmosphere. Events in Saturday nights. Right next to the Fremont train station if you need to put your feet up while waiting for your connection or train.

Great place for cafe fare and ambiance. A rare and badly needed hangout place in Fremont.

The place is good, lot of space.The only thing I feel they can improve is the ambience. I feel the white and the yellow lights dont go well with each other and just ruins the feel for me.

Coffee is good. But the place is not so clean. Very limited parking space. But road side parking is available

Slap Face is an amazing place for coffee and community. They have free shows every Saturday night where you can just come in and enjoy live music while devouring an affogato. Highly recommended!

Great coffee and atmosphere. Open mic night on some Saturdays is pretty great as well.

Love this space! Frequenter of their weekend events like karaoke night and magic shows. Not the quietest place to study/relax on the weekends in the evening, but quite accessible for that kind of work on the weekdays and early in the day on weekends.

Quick stop but really good coffee, very well prepared. Tad slow.

Good local coffee shop, lots of high tables to sit, something different i found was a small room to have a discussion. Lots of local events like music salsa dance are scheduled on weekends. Popular place among students from nearby area.

This is a wonderful place to have great coffee, enjoy lunch, bring the dog and sit outside. The staff are a fun loving group, always smiling and laughing. Plenty of seating for all size groups, parking is adequate.

Definately a spot I will be coming back to. First Saturday of every month I think there is live music and Live comedy. Prices are super reasonable and plenty of seating up and downstairs.

Pretty cool industrial deco and real spacious with upstairs seating too. Great choice of music I gotta say. Coffee is good quality. Personal fav is the red velvet latte and the Turkish coffee.

Its a laid back atmosphere with a variety of coffees and teas. Plenty of outlets for your devices. Nice and quiet place, perfect for studying.

Great place for some downtime. Even has a mini room with a couch and two chairs which can be booked in advance. Plenty of places to sit. Good service. Last but not least, lots of cute peeps to gawk at while seeming to look at the laptop hooked on the net via free wifi. 😏

Love this place! Great atmosphere and the baristas put a lot of attention and care into each drink. This is a nice place to do work most days (unless there’s a fun event going on, which you can see on their Facebook page).

Off-beat coffee shop with pretty nice staff. The coffee is OK, same with the food. The layout is a little less than welcoming but also OK. The parking lot is terribly small. So far it seems the best alternative coffee house available in the area.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Used to be a bank and kept most of its original layout. Regular live music events. A local gem. Piroshkis served here adds uniqueness to the typical cafe pastry line up.

Service was fine but drinks were average and not cheap

Had a lot of fun but havent gotten a chance to go back again! They continue to be creative in their entertainment & cafe tibits & coffee concoctions. Small space.

Good place to spend the weekend. They got some shows every weekend. They even teach dance dance steps for customers. Follow in Facebook to get more information about their events

Good coffee. Good service. Good environment. I think they have live performance at night. That will be cool to see.

This place is amazing! So much space to study with plenty of outlets for everyone to charge whatever device they have. Two stories of awesome! Even have a conference room.

The pour over here is truly amazing, they do an incredible job. Open mic night is super-fun. Definitely going to be a regular here.
